Our new brief involved looking at opposite words like our previous typography project and using marks to express the words. The words I chose were happy & sad, dark & light and  chaos & order. Our aim was to create a design piece which included the word, its definition and marks which express the word from a chosen object. The object I chose to create my marks was lipstick. Our goal was to go wild and creative with mark making!

After completing our first info graphic, our aim was to develop a second one using the same information but with a completely different layout. I chose a menu type layout and changed my color scheme to natural earthy colors.

After completing our pictograms, we developed one pictogram into an info graphics. Initially we had very little information about info graphics but after conducting research, we were ready to create our own ones.
The category I developed was fish and my aim was to focus of 3 different types of fish and the flavours that complement them. I chose sushi, pink fish and octopus and developed pictograms based on further primary research. I then brainstormed ideas on various info graphic layouts and colour schemes.

Pictograms final

For my final set of four pictograms, I developed my colour scheme completely and painted with watercolours to produce a pastel natural look.

Pictograms 

By the second week, our aim was to develop a final set of pictograms from our drawings. This set was then further explored using various mediums, eg. Ink, Marker and Pencil. I chose my ink versions because I was planning to use watercolours for my final set of colour pictograms and I concluded that my ink version would best suit this choice.

Experimenting a colour palette

I chose earthy colours of red, green and brown as my colour palette because I wanted my pictograms to look natural and fresh.

Designing pictograms

As part of our new brief, our first task was to take photographs of fish, meat, poultry and salads/vegatables which would be part of our primary research from which we would develop our own pictograms. Upon attending the class, we got a better insight to research and the different ways of conducting it. From the primary research I collected- photographs form the English Market, I began to brainstorm ideas and develop pencil drawings.
